WHO WORE WHAT?.....Met Gala 2015: Beyonce in Givenchy




 Beyonce in Givenchy Custom Couture Gown by Riccardo Tisci



Boy! We saw this trend of SHEER! SHEER! SHEER! starting at the Oscar After-Parties earlier this year....but the DIVAS really brought this trend in full force to the Red Carpet at the Met Gala tonight!! Someone who went ALL OUT with this trend was Beyonce. We all knew that she was going to BRING IT at the Met Gala and well, she did not disappoint in this Custom Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci gown featuring a silk tulle/netting foundation with strategically placed jeweled crystals hand sewn throughout the gown. It was a pretty FEARLESS look for Miss Beyonce and yes, if anyone is going to pull it off, it would be her.

Here are more pics:










Your Red Carpet Wish Is My Command: She looks like a Couture Sexy-Licious I-Dream-of-Jeannie!!!

Met Fab? Or,

WHO WORE WHAT?.....Met Gala 2015: Jennifer Lopez in Atelier Versace

Jennifer Lopez was very on-trend with the Transparency Gown vibe--featured in this Asiana-inspired gown she wore at the 2015 Met Gala red carpet from Atelier Versace.





The gown featured a red sequined dragon motif hand-sewn onto a nude silk tulle background. The one shoulder gown was MUY sheer from a side-back view...







BAM! That's what you got! Oh Miss JLo. Three words: At-a-Girl. That look of hers is like "Huuuuuney, I am GIVING YOU!!!". 



WHO WORE WHAT?.....Met Gala 2015: Fan Bingbing, Sarah Jessica Parker, Chloe Sevigny, Zendaya + More!





Fan Bingbing in Christopher Bu--Now this is how you GIVE it!!! At the Met Gala 2015. Actress--and Fashion Diva--Fan Bingbing is always known to give 110% when it comes to the red carpet, and tonight's Met Gala was no exception. She wore a gold and copper sequined gown with a multicolored coat. I know the theme was "Asiana-inspired Diva" (or that's what I deem it to be!), but Bingbing is somehow vibing a bit of Nefertiti and Cleopatra with this AMAAAZING coat. 







Sarah Jessica Parker in H & M and Philip Treacy--How do I say this politely? Ummm, no. Now, let me begin: I love me some SJP and I know that she has become known for her fab/over the top Philip Treacy headdresses at the Met Galas but...I do like this headdress style, I'm just not a fan of this H & M one shoulder gown. The dress seems like something a fashion school student would have created. No offense to the fashion school student; more of diss on the H & M design team. Oh, and should I even discuss the ripply seams??? Maybe not.






Chloe Sevigny in J W Anderson--I kinda love this strapless look on Chloe. She's very 1920s/1930's-Indiana-Jones-Lady-Friend in this ensemble. 







Georgia May Jagger in Gucci--OK, first of all, I do like this dress--it's very Chinoiserie Chic and therefore fits the bill for the theme of the night. I also appreciate the strappy shoe design that is also inspired by traditional Chinese flats. I just wish she would put on a smile. You're the trust funder model daughter of Rock Legend Mick Jagger and Fashion Icon Jerry Hall, you should smile darling.








Karolina Kurkova in Tommy Hilfiger--I think this is a Met Gala Red Carpet No! I get that it's Karolia Kurkova and she's got LEGS that go on for DAYS!!!! And I do LOVE those shoes! (Sooooo Fab!), but...this Tommy Hilfilger (we all know HE didn't really design this...PUHLEEASE!), makes her look like she works at the bar of a Las Vegas Casino. I know that sounds harsh but seriously!!??










Zendaya in Fausto Puglisi--I'm kinda loving this look on Zendaya. It's very "Versace Vintage circa 1992". For that alone, I'm giving both Zendaya and designer Fausto Puglisi points!



WHO WORE WHAT?.....Met Gala 2015: Lady Gaga in Balenciaga Custom by Alexander Wang




 Lady Gaga in Balenciaga designed by Alexander Wang






Tonight was the 2015 Met Gala, formally called the Costume Institute Gala, a fundraiser to benefit the  Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute. This year's exhibit is titled "China: Through The Looking Glass". The Met's site explains that the exhibition "explore the impact of Chinese aesthetics on Western fashion, and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. High fashion will be juxtaposed with Chinese costumes, paintings, porcelains, and other art, including films, to reveal enchanting reflections of Chinese imagery". It is interesting that a lot of the fashions on display will be from Western designers and how they were "inspired" by Chinoiserie. 


In terms of the Gala, there are lots of A-list celebs and fashion designers invited and then there are the people who have to pay $25,000 for a ticket. The celebs and designers get in for free via Miss Anna Wintour. Lucky them. Moving on...


Now, time for tonight's Red Carpet and the Who Wore What? Let's begin with the one-and-only Lady Gaga...










Lady Gaga--with Balenciaga designer Alexander Wang (above)--Lady Gaga wore a black silk and sequined jumpsuit with a scooped neckline and a ivory and black silk duchesse satin and sequined "Opera coat". The look was finished with a gorgeous sequined headdress--and that "exotic" makeup! Alexander Wang is the current designer for Balenciaga, and he did not hold back when designing for Gaga.  I loved it! What did you guys think?



Met Fab?
